To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Summer.

Summer is here to stay. Life is busy, I am working full time, my husband is home with his broken ribs, watching the girls. I try to enjoy summer with my girls, bringing them as much fun as we can manage, and I am glad that little things, like sprinklers and ice cream makes for a fun day for the girls...:)

What does summer mean to you? Pretty flowers....

Strawberries over ice scream...

I cut strawberies up, sprinkle with sugar, cook for about 10 minutes, and then we pour over vanilla ice cream or short cake... um, so good.

We had our fill of snap peas... so fresh and crispy.

Water is a nessesity during the summer. Nothing can survive without water, not even little girls..;)

And finally, summer is all about resting, soaking in the sun, and enjoying the beauty of a hot summer day, that God has blessed us with.

Hi,I hope you don't mind me leaving you a comment. I noticed you have a heart for Him and are a follower of Katie Davis' blog. I'm a 26 year old woman from England who has been called of God to become a Mama to many Ugandan children. I move to Uganda in January of next year and will be taking in children & loving them, just like Katie. I wondered if you might perhaps be interested in my blog.

My inspiration.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.~~Psalm 118~~~

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~~ Lao-Tzu~~

Seek God now! Seek Him hard! And He will be found by you.If you say you know Jesus, but does He know you?"Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kindgom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Sometimes we look so intently toward the top of our mountain that we stumble over the steps leading to it. The journey begins just where you are with blessings in every step.At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.-Albert SchweitzerBut they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. {Isaiah 40:31}Be glad for all God is planning for you, Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. {Romans 12:12}

Faith is knowing without seeing, believing without fully understanding, trusting without touching the One who is ever faithful.

No matter what my ears may hear, Or what my eyes may see, There's nothing for me to fear, Lord; You're always here with me.
